The living chandelier which is titled “EXHALE” was designed by a London-based
designer-engineer, bio-technologist and entrepreneur Julian Melchiorri.
Melchiorri with his several years of experience in
biotechnology; develop is idea of the Bionic-leaf, which is based on the
principles of photosynthesis: which are plants absorbs carbon dioxide and
releases oxygen, then integrating to invent this amazing eco-friendly product.
This living chandelier is composed of 70 glass petals of
different shape, containing a solution of green algae sustained by daylight,
LEDs and drip-feed of nutrients.
The green algae; exhibits the principles of
photosynthesis. The transparent liquid filters through the light, giving off a
warm glow.
The living chandelier can be used wherever air
purification is needed: thus, it can be used indoors or outdoors.
Melchiorri living chandelier earned him an award “the Emerging
Talent Award”, during the London Design week. The living chandelier is still a prototype;
Melchiorri hopes to bring the technology to larger buildings in the future to
help them tackle harmful emissions.
